MIZUSHIRO SETONA

The first person who hurt me was of my own gender. Tsubaki is in the same class as Kaoru and Koutarou is the gentle big brother. What embrace their souls are desires and tenacity... They are hurt, they throb, they are drowned, they cry... They love with their body and soul, these are the real ordinary lives of these boys. (Note: the title for this manga (Dousei Ai) generally means "homosexuality", however, the kanji used has a different meaning than the kanji that are properly used for spelling "homosexuality". The kanji for this series is the same for "living together" (同棲) instead of (同性) which means "same-sex")

Hatsune is a male prostitute living during the Shouwa era in Edo. Suzuro is one of Hatsune's regular, but he only wants to paint Hatsune and leaves after he does. Hatsune would talk about this family with Suzuro and revealed that his brother was his lover.
